Petition: Cultural equality in the names of our country and its places

Euan from Burwood

A national petition launched recently asks our Government to ensure cultural equality in the naming of our country, its regions and local places. It also asks for English and te rē Moriori to be recognised as official languages. Only te reo Māori and sign language have official status now.

The petition offers fair-minded Kiwis a say in the current debate over New Zealand's name. Your voice is not being heard enough. Te Pāti Māori and NZ First petitions on the same issue offer only ethnically divisive options.

If you care about cultural equality and inclusion, for lasting social harmony in our country, please sign this petition. And please recommend it to your friends and family.

You can find the petition here:

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

Curious about the full plans? You can check them out here.
